Hair Replacement: Tips on Maintenance for Hair System Wearers
I have been wearing hair systems for about 10 years now and was a client of a large hair replacement company. I got so fed up of paying inflated prices for the cost in maintenance not to mention buying replacement systems that I decided to find an alternative way.
I decided to self maintain my systems which at first I found difficult but with persistence and many trials and errors I have developed a few easy tips that I want to share that will help other hair wearers escape the clutches of expensive Hair Clubs.
Tip 1. The most tricky part in maintaining your system is in the clean-up process. Many companies will try to sell you solvent products aimed at removing the glue residue from the base of your hair system. The best way to remove the residue is by using plain cotton wool. Once the system has been pealed off your head, simply roll the cotton wool over the base of the system using your thumbs and index finger. Start at the edges and work inwards so not to damage the delicate hairs attached around the perimeter of the hair system. The cotton wool sticks to the residue and peals away from the lace base as you roll it. Be firm but not rough, take your time and roll the residue slowly. Do this before you shampoo the hair system as this process works best when the system is dry. This whole process also dramatically reduces the amount of hair loss from the system giving the unit more longevity.
Tip 2 that I want to share with you is on how to prolong the life span of your delicate lace front (hairline) and prevent a dirt/grease build up that will result in losing those delicate hairs at the front of the hairline. Once the lace front has been stuck down, whether you are using tapes or safe grip adhesive you will begin to see a build up of the dirt line on the edge of the lace. To prevent this dirt from building up and to keep your lace front looking natural, its best to incorporate and apply a daily care routine to your system. Simply purchase an alcohol based cleanser and then using a make-up pad or folded tissue gently wipe away this dirt build-up. Do this by holding back the lace hairline very carefully and using a tiny dab of cleanser on the tissue simply wipe down away to your brow. Don’t rub it hard and don’t make contact with the lace edge or the hairs attached to it. Doing this simple technique every day will also aid your monthly clean up task.
